Being an Introverted Leader

Shy: A shy person is frightened of public exposure. There is a component of fear involved. They don't necessarily want or like to be alone. Being shy, so they say (at least my therapist does), is something you can change

Introvert: Introverted people get drained after spending much time with others. They usually enjoy other people a lot but also love and need time alone after many interactions. I will reinforce: they need some time alone to recharge

Extroverts: On the other hand, lack of social interaction may make extroverts feel depleted and fatigued

To end this short concept alignment, not all introverted people are shy, and not all shy people are introverted. And to be clear, an extrovert can be shy.

I am shy and introverted at high levels. The way I cope with each of those characteristics is very different. This text from now on is about learning to be an introverted leader.
